I wouldn't even head over to New York City for that... honestly, I wouldn't even walk out to the sidewalk in front of my own apartment building for it 😬

Who are you kidding?

Truly an exceptional film. Honestly, if you want to know how good it actually is, just take a look at the rating on Rotten Tomatoes—it speaks volumes about the quality.

Another Political Academy—now that would be something! And honestly, when are we finally going to see some fresh faces stepping into the roles of the next Ghostbusters?

I recently spent some time over in San Francisco

If you look at this through the lens of inverted classification—take today’s elite jazz fusion players, for instance, and then contrast them with the punks, the pop-rockers, or even the goth scene—you start to see a pattern. By what standard is Kurt Cobain consistently placed on those professional "Top 10" or "Top 15" guitarist lists? And why does Jimi Hendrix regularly claim the number one spot, even though almost anyone who has dedicated five or more years to the instrument can technically play twice as well as he ever did? It all boils down to the same thing: it’s about recognizing raw, visceral talent rather than just measuring technical virtuosity—those true masters often get overlooked in favor of pure skill.

That’s exactly it—there is an undeniable truth to the idea that the most brilliant musicians are often the most difficult personalities.

I honestly felt like I’d reached my limit once it dawned on me that setting these up would take a solid thirty minutes of my time.
